I’m looking at a house that was a DIY conversion from a barn to a barndominum. They poured the foundation, but how can I be certain they did the vapor barrier correctly?
Bear:
Thanks for the comment. I have ALWAYS had “visit a barndominium” on my bucket list. Thanks for the chuckle. Determining if they used a vapor barrier is much easier than determining if it was placed correctly. In fact, I’m not sure you could really do so effectively. To determine “if” there is a vapor retarder it would require a core sample of the slab to be taken, which can be done by an engineering firm. Good luck.
Thanks,
Jason
